Ron Paul: Let Florida Secede if She Wants!

"Representative Ron Paul (R-Texas) said Monday that secession was a 'deeply American principle,' amid a growing number of people petitioning the White House to let their states secede from the U.S.

"'Secession is a deeply American principle. This country was born through secession. Some felt it was treasonous to secede from England, but those "traitors" became our country’s greatest patriots,' the former presidential candidate wrote in a post on his House website. 'There is nothing treasonous or unpatriotic about wanting a federal government that is more responsive to the people it represents.'"
